Mix and match two or more typefaces for a more dynamic design
Why select just one type when you could have many? A key print design trend of this year is mixing two or more different fonts together to create a scrapbook-like effect. Since different typefaces are associated with different tones, you can shake up the fonts to shift the tone, and to make your design more dynamic. The tricky part is making sure your different fonts work together and don’t battle for your reader’s attention on your poster.

The key is in the contrast: make sure your text pops out by positioning and coloring it appropriately in relation to your image, and make sure the image fits with the meaning and the design of your type.

In particular if you’re trying to promote a wholesome or homely product, these fonts have been proven to put your audience at ease and bring your poster to life
